PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 18.--His Majesty's sloop Fly, of 18 guns, Captain JOHN BALDWIN, arrived at Spithead on ‘Vednesday, from Newfoundland, with dispatches from Captain Bovi:KER, of the Sir Francis Drake, the Setika Naval Officer on that station, commnnicating the death of- his Excellency Vice-Admiral .PicKmottE, Governor and Commloder in Chief, which took place at Saint John's on the 24;i) of February.—The remains of the Vice-Admiral were interred with military honours in the Church of Saint John's, on the 3d ult. The funeral procession was mar 4.,slialled by Major Morris, and Mr. Moore, of the Customs, and moved from Fort Townshend aborit half -past eleven o'clock, numerously attended by all ranks, civil and militar, . The body was borne upon a sledge-car, under a canopy of black velvet, drawn by one. horse. The weather was less favourable than the solemn occasion re quired ; but regularity and exact order were never - theless preserved throughout. Capt. Bowker was the chief mourner. The funeral service was read by the Rev. Mr. Grantham, and at the conclusion, the Admiral's flag was deposited with the coffin in a vault in the church, near the altar.— ' From the time of quitting Fort Townsend, the ceremony occupied about tsso hours, during which the ships of war and the different forts fired mi nute guns, and the artillery and infantry con- eluded the mournful scene by the customary dis charge of cannon and small arms. (ii the fol lowing day Capt. 13owker took the usual oaths of office, on succeeding to the command, and was re ceived at the Court-house by a guard of honour, commanded by Capt. Mann, of the 98th regiment. The remains of the late .Governor were brought home in the Fly, for the purpose of being de posited in the family vault, at Kingston, 'rear this town. The Fly left St. John's on the 18th tilt. nearly four hundred persons having been con stantly employed for the space of three weeks before in cutting and clearing away a pas sage for her out of the harbour through the ice; during which time a canal of thirty-four feet wide, and 2856 yards in length, was cut thro' the solid ice, of from 21 to 5 feet in thickness.— The Sir Francis Drake and Egeria were left at St. John's. The winter had been very Severe, but no want of provisions or supplies of any kind had been experienced by the inhabitants. Lieutenant Bonifant, Flag Lieutenant to the late Vice-Adini ral Pickmore, came home in the Fly.—The Fly is ordered to be surveyed at Spithead.

A Flanders Mail arrived last night with Brus sels Papers to Saturday last.

A Dutch Mail arrived at a late hour last night, with Papers to Saturday last. They quote letters from Paris, stating thai the basis of the Treaty of Liquidation had been agreed upon, and the con clusion of •it was shortly expected. They also state, that two persons, one of them an Officer on half-pay, had been arrested at a country-house some leagues from Paris, on suspicion of being concerned' in the attempt upon the life of the Duke of WELLINGTON, and that important papers had likewise been seized. SOCIETY or ST. PATRICK.-01) ,S3turday the Anniversary Festival of the St. Patrick's Benevo lent Institution was held at the City of London Tavern, his Royal Highness the Duke of KENT in the Chair, The Royal Chairman was accom panied by Loid Castlereagh, th e D u k e o f Lein ster, the Marquises of llcadfort and Downshire, and several of the Irish Noblemen, The Royal Chairtitan took occasion to enlarge on the merits of this benevolent Institution, and congratulated the Meeting wn the proper absence of political feeling which characterised the energies of the supporters of the hostitution, without reference to their particular opinions. Lord Castlereagh, in proposing the health of the Royal Chairman, congratulated the Meeting on having his first as sistance on his arrival in this count' y. The Duke of Kent, in returning thanks, did not know that Ice might have the pleastne of again presiding at the Anniversary, and took that opportunity of proposing as President in future, e Nobleman well qualified to the office, the Doke of Lein- Step, A large subscription was n►ade in the rootn, the Mceting continued to enjoy co►tri eial intercourse until a late hour.—What was said by Mr. 1 - limlcToNt at the Meeting, has been erronenusly represented in son►e of the Mort►- ink; Papers. lle proposed, that a Meeting for consithring of the erection of a School for children of the charity should he held on Friday instead of Saturday, but on its being slated that the latter day was appointed on account ut the adjoin nwent of Parlialliebt, Le withdraw his mo tion, FOR THE SUN. Mrt.Etivroa,—l have heard Mr. CANNINg CCrI. ! Scored for having condescended to notice the libel of an anonymous Defamer. Ido not refer to the madversions upon the case set forth by the Edit ors of The Morning Chronicle and The Times, or by the kindred and Revolutionary spawn of Sunday beilers- The censure I speak of has arisen in a very different qua' ter, and from a very distinct and opposed class of persons ; men of high principles, of education, and Gentlemen ! men who are as little disposed to defend an assassin as to employ one, but who consider the infamy of the publica tion in question a sufficient guarantee for the con tempt and abhorrence of every hcnest man in the country. The fact I am not disposed to dispute, but against the - inference that Mr. CANNING is therefore censurable for noticing it the• man ner he has thought proper to do, I most decidedly protest. If the Right Honourable Gentleman bad de. scended to enter the lists with such an opponent, for the purpose of justifying himself against the base, unmanly, and calumnious charges brought against him, he would have acted unworthily, and have so acted without necessity. His ability tfa, defend himself will not be questioned by those who. have the opportunity to assail him in open day.' and where he is to be constantly found at hi% post. But when he seeks to unkennel a wretch. who entrenches himself behind a BULWARK or LIBERTY, in order to strike more surely at the best .interests of society, he is setting an example which I shall not he sot-1y to see followed up, in souse form or other, by every mats of honour in the country, when assailed is a similar manner. The corrupting influence of the French Revolu tion is only beginning to shew its bitter fraits its this country. The mighty efforts made to sup press it in its first approaches to this happy land were effectual for a time. iVe all temember its defeat, and we cannot but also remember that the present marked object and denounced victim, against whom the whole reviving force of the Mon. stet is directed, was among the foremost of the band to whose vigorous display of intellect, to the bril liancy of whose wit, and the keenness of whose satire, its obscuration and defeat were chiefly at tributable, Hine We ,Lachryma , !—En Crimea ! En Causa! Hence lies " the rank off,..nce," which " smells not to Heaven" indeed, but has taken another direction, more suited to the malignity of . the principle, to opposition to which it was incur. red. Mr. CANNING is most obnoxious to the hatred, the inextinguishable inveteracy of disappointedand retarded Revolutionists, and his name stands broad ly registered in the list of the PROSCRIBED ! The threat published in the libel in question is but the premature disclosure, by an intemperate partizan, of a long cherished hope, warmed into existence by the mischievous and puerile policy of a disap. pointed faction i n the State ; a faction which ab. surely lends itself to raise a storm, in the hope to stay its violence when it has spread desola. (ion over its enemies !—Are such men inaccessible to the warnings of experience ? Have they talked all .reference to the French . Revolution out of countenance, till they themselves'are'so besotted as to fall into the snare they have laid for others, and to believe that " their talents" can arrest the march of events, or prevent the natural flow of consequences front the madness of a people once divested of all respect for the laws and constituted Authorities of the country. Do they really forget, or has disappointed ambition SP perverted their understanding as to render them unmindful of, the system which was prepared for they overthrow of the French Monarchy ? Have they lost sight of events so far as to promise them selves security amidst the ruin which a degenerate abuse of literary talents to tlie vilification of all moral and religious principle,—to the annibila. tion of all those ties which bind men in civil society,—to the relaxation of every duty, and the degradation of high character whenever it rose above the rank of the lowest order of the corn• triunity, produced and consummated in France ! Will they, who have dared the example of tra ducing and calumniating the first Magistrate of the country, because he found them ti,fit to con. troults Councils, refer us to the actual state of France at the pet iod of the Revolution ; will they infer the security of our Establishments because they are more pure in !hi ntstlyes, anti more hounur. ably administered, when the steady object of the Party has been to sanction and countenance even where they hare not. originated, libels upon the Constitution,' upon every rank of the Public Ad ministrators—and even upon the Throne itself The people of France were made to believe that their Constitution was rotten, and that their Role.rs were Traitors, - and their impulse was to overthrow the one and the other. The people of E ngland ate taught the same lesson. It spoken iu plain Loglish by the subsidiary 1
